Roboticus - I am writing a script that displays images to the browser to ensure that they are there. It is not enough to verify that the file exists, it must also be displayed to ensure it is the correct file.

A further caveat is that the files are on a server with HTTP authentication using .HTACCESS. I know that I can do things like:

$req->authorization_basic('user', 'pass'); to gain access to such images.

I do not know that I need to automate IE, or Firefox, or Chrome (in my case I use chrome), so much as I need to find a way to display images that require authentication.

Initially I had simple HTML tags in my code printing like this:

print "<img height=\"$x\" width=\"$y\" src=\"$ImagePath\">";

However in the case of images that are behind .HTACCESS I would run into a login prompt over and over and over again.

Thanks again Roboticus!
